I have my tanks filled at Ace Hardware for a flat $14.99. They
put it on a scale that tells them when the weight is right, but
there is also a gauge that you can watch to see exactly how many
gallons they put in. I suppose if you took in a partly filled
tank you'd end up on the losing side, but I only fill completely
empty tanks, and they put the full 5 gallons in.


Some states are making the flat price illegal for that reason.


Perhaps because they realize the public is being cheated.


Even if you get the full 5 gallons, propane hasn't been $3 a gallon for
a long time.
